I fear that this work may not be well received by certain kinds of people since it can come off largely as an inconclusive meandering of musical thought. If it seems to be this to you, then I would encourage you to enjoy this work in the context of the Purpose project in its entirety and not as an individual composition since I composed, programmed, and recorded this for the sake of it being the center of the album.
It turned out the way it did because I am attempting to ask a question that no one has ever answered to my satisfaction: “Why do I exist?” God’s creation is wonderful and I love the mind, body, and relationships He’s given me so that I can enjoy it. Most of all, I love the spirit He has put in my heart so that I can enjoy a relationship with God himself. But why do I exist? Why was I conceived and not someone else? Why something rather than nothing? Why does God exist and why did he create physical existence instead of not creating it?
After asking these questions for years, it has been revealed to me that while all things are for a reason, it is not for us to know that reason. Therefore, all we can do is follow God’s commands and enjoy the things he has given us in accordance with those commands. This realization does not answer the question, but it helps us understand that as much as it concerns us, the reason we exist is to please God and enjoy what he has given us.
Purpose hides and so we seek it. But somewhere on the way we find beauty and realize that the purpose of life is the process of searching for it.
